YMCA National Gymnastics Championships
The Y is proud to host the annual YMCA National Gymnastics Championships at select host cities throughout the United States. Y gymnasts, ages 5-18, compete in this elite event of a lifetime with fellow gymnasts from around the country. Participants compete for top honors in bars, beam, vault and floor events, all while receiving the opportunity to connect with each other in a fun, active and healthy way.
Several U.S. Olympians have competed in the YMCA National Gymnastics Championships since the event began in 1938 in Detroit, Mich. including Abie Grossfeld (1956 and 1960 Olympic teams), Joyce Tanac Shroeder (1968 Olympic team) and Linda Metheny Mulvihill (1964, 1968, 1970 Olympic teams).
The 2011 YMCA National Gymnastics Championships were held in Toledo, Ohio and the 2010 event was held in San Diego, Calif.
